The silver lining to the severe weather storm heading our way is that emergency officials saw it coming. This foresight gave them time to prepare for the worst. FOX13
James said his team has been planning for this severe weather season all year. Their areas of focus are approximately 50 trouble spots across Tacoma that are prone to flooding, including a spot near the intersection of 25th and Pacific Ave.
"That is always on the watch during storm season because it can be problematic, and if we have issues at that location, we want to respond," said James.on its website. It also lists two sandbag fill stations available for free to people help protect property from flooding. The locations are: Central Wastewater Treatment Plant at 2301 Cleveland Way, Gate 6
During preparation, Environmental Services’ dispatch center deploys street sweepers to clear leaves and debris from storm drains. This is something James said they could use the public’s help doing. "Often times you can save a flooded intersection or flooded area simply by removing the debris from on top of the catch basin grades. Most the time you can sweep using a push broom, or you can use a shovel," said James.
